Security forks in protocols happen. Bitcoin also had an early inflation bug that Satoshi had to patch.

Zcash is a decade into its growth and Orchard is its most modern and adopted shielded pool.

This hurts the "unstoppable, private money" thesis because the core Zcash community was able to proactively coordinate the fork and indeed alter the protocol, but is also a necessary evil since a future confirmed exploit of this protocol could have created unbacked claims inside Orchard, risking insolvency or a bank-run-style exit dynamic.

The human coordination layer around blockchain protocols is equally as important as the code its built upon. This is the case for Bitcoin, Zcash, and any other blockchain project in existence.

Onwards.

Given the time available and the number of parties involved (the devs at @zodl_app and @ZcashFoundation, miners, exchanges, others), this was the most ambitious network upgrade in Zcash's history.

I'm especially grateful to my team, including @feministPLT, @nuttycom, @str4d, @thecodebuffet, @NealJayu, and @peacemongerZ. Little sleep for days. Focused on execution. Collaborating. No compromises. All in. Built to win.

Exit vs. Transformation: an exchange between myself and Parallel Citizen (@AnalogueUSB) on Canada's prospects, civilizational decline, personal detachment, and the enduring question of whether an underachieving society is best abandoned, endured, or transformed.

Next stop: @4seasDeSoc in Chiang Mai for June-July :) thrilled to announce I was awarded the 4Seas Crypto Residency, and will use this time to edit my upcoming book.

@freecitiesfound I think Vikram's framing isn't exactly as black/white as this subtweet and I generally agree with him.. but am open to a guest post on a few different topics that might be of interest
